Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. As always, feel free to mention any events we may have missed in the comments section (and/or mock our typos) and we’ll add them. Our recommendations […]

Remember Betty Friedan, the original independent woman, from AP US History? Well it’s been almost 50 years since her manifesto, The Feminine Mystique, was published and changed (or didn’t change?) gender equality forever. (New York Times) Beyoncé’s documentary aired on HBO last night, and we learned some things about Queen B—namely that she’s still perf. (The […]

Valentine’s Day is over, but there’s still a shot at love. Tonight’s personal profiles reject cuddling and believe in common human decency, respectively: meet Sam Schipani and Matt Martinez. Your one-email stop to love, as always, is personals@bwog.com. Name, Year, School, Major: Sam Schipani, CC’15, Sustainable Development Preference: Girl for Guy Hometown: The cultural mecca […]

Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker claims that he was accused of shoplifting at Milano’s Deli and then stopped and frisked by an employee! Whitaker was initially shocked, but he consented to the search. The actor did not report the incident to any authority figure at the request of the worker who was afraid that he would […]

Two nights ago, members of the Columbia community gathered for the time honored tradition known as Glass House Rocks aka The Only Time Lerner Manages to Look Like a Real Student Center. Bwog was on the scene, and we have brought you the best pictures of the night. So for those of you who were […]

The word on the street is that Macklemore is coming to Bachhanal! This comes on the heels of Yale’s announcement that Macklemore would be performing at Spring Fling. (We don’t wanna share!!!) Now, we stress that these are just rumors, but due to their frequency and potentially awesome implications we felt that we should share […]

This morning the Columbia Democrats were spurred to action by something near and dear to Bwog’s heart – marriage equality. They were out in the cold protesting an event being held on campus titled “Family in Modern Society.” It includes such riveting talks as “What is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense” and “Everything is […]

Overheard a few nights ago on the way to Pupin: “Ya, my pupils get all weird and change sizes. It’s like my ‘tell.'” (A tell for what? Imagine playing poker with this person…) Overheard at Ferris: “You went to sleep and woke up naturally at 7? You know what that’s called? Cocaine.”  (We wonder if there is […]

Headlocks: Congress has defied everyone’s judgments and actually come together on an issue for once. No, not Hagel’s appointment. I’m talking about the good, old fashioned sport we all know and love – wrastlin’! (CNN) Hitler: A large number of paintings that had been stolen from fleeing Jews during WWII are being returned to their rightful owners […]

Valentine’s Day may have passed, but love is still a thing. Tonight’s single guys have written each other’s personals rather than their own (awww), so the third-person answers are not signs of mental instability. Meet Zachary Hendrickson and David Morales-Miranda. Name, Year, School, Major: Zachary Michael Hendrickson, Columbia College ’16, Political Science-Human Rights Preference: Guy […]

The Kingsmen followed their annual tradition yesterday by interrupting classes with song-o-grams.  After sneaking into a class to catch one of their performances, Bwog stalked the group to more serenades, really learning the power of large groups of people in brightly colored jackets.  They explained that friends or members suggest people to serenade and provide […]

This Valentine’s Day, Lerner lit up, featuring all kinds of campus performance groups (dance and music), and something about a bounce house, here reviewed by Josh Dillon.  Having heard about Glass House Rocks for weeks, through upperclassmen and through its Facebook event page, I go to Lerner at 8:00pm not really knowing what to expect. […]

Even though the weather is surprisingly warm today, winter is still here. In that spirit, Star and the Sea (Dominique Star, CC ’13, and her band) have released their first music video, shot by Bernhard Fasenfest, CC ’16, called “Winter in New York.”

The Student Governing Board’s Executive Board, representing approximately 100 campus groups, issued a statement yesterday discouraging the use of the Faculty House until appropriate negotiations with workers have been made. Last week the Student-Worker Solidarity coalition braved the elements to rally for their cause of “economic justice” for local workers, particularly now for Faculty House workers’ living wage, though […]
